Urinary Tract Infection in Women

چکیده
rinary tract infection (UTI) is defined as the symptomatic presence of microbial pathogens within the urinary tract, typically the lower urinary tract (bladder) unless otherwise specified. Symptoms generally include dysuria and increased frequency of urination. Flank pain and fever, on the other hand, suggest involvement of the upper urinary tract. An uncomplicated UTI shows no signs or symptoms of an upper UTI (pyelonephritis) and occurs in a person without abnormalities that confer an increased risk of upper infection. Complicated UTI refers to suspected upper UTI or increased risk of upper UTI, which may lead to serious morbidity such as sepsis or abscess. Structural or functional abnormalities of the urinary tract and recent instrumentation of the urinary tract all confer increased risk of upper UTI. Uncomplicated pyelonephritis refers to upper UTI in a person without structural or functional abnormalities Urinary Tract Infection in Women
